A Plethora of Blooms

I long to see daffodils swaying in the breeze
 I love the cherry blossoms sent by spring's decree

 The fragrant hyacinth, who Apollo did adore
 Her scent is on the zephyr, jealous evermore

 Tulips dressed up all in red
 Their beauty they do spread

 A plethora of colors what joy they do bring
 Dancing in the breeze as beauty blooms in spring
